Eli is a tech guy and he is funny. His video title:
BIDEN BANNING USA TECH INVESTMENT in CHINA – this has gone past stupid…
This fits with Blinky today – past stupid. They truly believe that they can impede China’s development. They also believe some people care about what they say. That is beginning to be so last year and is not trending this year at all. See how he tries to break relationships …
US accuses China of saber rattling — but is the main trouble-maker in the region
Washington will try to prevent Russia’s military-technical cooperation with North Korea and Iran, and also expects to reduce China’s economic ties with Russia, US State Secretary Antony Blinken told a joint press event with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
“So if China in particular, which professes to have a strong interest in ending the war – if it really means it, it will stop fueling the war machine, and we’ll continue to do everything we can to cut off the support that countries like Iran and North Korea are providing,” Blinken said.
His comments came as the US further stoked tensions in the Asia-Pacific region. As part of the swathe of joint military exercises, the Freedom Edge drills between United States, Japan and South Korea were agreed on the sidelines of the Shangri-La Dialogue summit in June. The expansive US-Philippines Balikatan war games in April were held near the South China Sea, where both China and the Philippines have territorial claims.
In late June, the US State Department approved a potential $60.2 million sale of Switchblade 300 missile systems plus a possible $ 300 million worth of ALTIUS 600M-V Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to Taiwan.
Chinese President Xi Jinping warned European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen about Washington’s attempts to provoke Beijing into attacking Taiwan. Xi has repeatedly stressed that the Taiwan issue is a major red line in China-US relations that must not be crossed. Beijing has also urged Washington to stop sending “erroneous signals” to Taiwanese separatists.
